Russian Leader Vladimir Putin’s close ally warned of an “apocalypse” if the West continues to send weapons to Ukraine to help the country in its battle against Russia.
Recently, Russia’s former president Dmitry Medvedev warned of a potential global nuclear catastrophe should the United States and other Western countries continue supporting Ukraine by providing weapons and firearms.
According to Medvedev, the effects of the catastrophe would last decades “until the rubble ceases to emit radiation.”
In an exclusive report published by the Daily Mail, it was revealed that “Medvedev’s apocalyptic rhetoric has been seen as an attempt to deter the NATO military alliance and Kyiv’s Western allies from getting even more involved in the year-old war that has dealt Moscow numerous setbacks on the battlefield.”
Medvedev’s warning came after President Putin’s controversial remark last Sunday, warning the West of possible nuclear war where he also claimed that Moscow’s confrontation with the West would be an existential battle for the survival of Russia and the Russian people.
“Of course, the pumping in of weapons can continue … and prevent any possibility of reviving negotiations,” Medvedev said in remarks published in the daily Izvestia.
“Our enemies are doing just that, not wanting to understand that their goals will certainly lead to a total fiasco. Loss for everyone. A collapse. Apocalypse. Where you forget for centuries about your former life, until the rubble ceases to emit radiation.” Putin’s close ally added.
Last week, President Putin announced that Russia would suspend its participation in the New Start programme with the United States which was signed in
in Prague in 2010 to cap the number of strategic nuclear warheads that Russia and the US can deploy.
Last January, Medvedev seemingly warned NATO leaders, ordering the latter to stop supplying Kyiv with major military weapons after Western countries met at the Ramstein Air Base Germany to discuss whether Germany should send Leopard 2 main battle tanks.
Medvedev strongly implied at the time the fate of his boss Putin, and that of Russia’s, adding that it depends on the Russian despot not being defeated in the year-long war with Ukraine.
“It doesn’t occur to any of the wretches to draw the following elementary conclusion: That the loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war could provoke a nuclear war. Nuclear powers have not lost major conflicts on which their fate depends. And this should be obvious to anyone,” Medvedev claimed.
“A Western politician with any trace of intelligence” the former president said.
